Amplitude modulation (AM) is a technique used in electronic communication, most commonly for transmitting information via a http://wiki.answers.com/wiki/Radio http://wiki.answers.com/wiki/Carrier_wave. AM works by varying the strength of the transmitted signal in relation to the information being sent. Angle modulation is a class of http://wiki.answers.com/wiki/Analog_signal http://wiki.answers.com/wiki/Modulation.

Amplitude Shift Keying (ASK) is often referred to as On-Off Keying (OOK) because it represents binary data by switching the amplitude of a carrier signal between two states: a high amplitude (on) for a binary '1' and no amplitude (off) for a binary '0'. This simplicity in representation allows for straightforward modulation and demodulation processes. OOK is a specific form of ASK that directly correlates the presence or absence of signal amplitude to binary values, making it intuitive for digital communication.
Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM) is a modulation technique that combines both amplitude modulation and phase modulation to transmit data by varying the amplitude of two carrier waves, thus allowing multiple bits of data to be sent simultaneously. Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (QPSK) is a specific type of phase modulation that encodes data by changing the phase of the carrier signal, allowing for four distinct phase shifts, each representing two bits of information. Both techniques are widely used in digital communication systems, but QAM can transmit more bits per symbol compared to QPSK, making it more efficient in bandwidth utilization.
The three main types of shift keying are Amplitude Shift Keying (ASK), Frequency Shift Keying (FSK), and Phase Shift Keying (PSK). ASK encodes data by varying the amplitude of the carrier signal, FSK uses different frequencies to represent data bits, and PSK changes the phase of the carrier wave to convey information. Each type has its own advantages and applications in digital communication systems.
GSM uses GMSK modulation scheme. GPRS also uses GMSK modulation scheme. EDGE and UMTS uses 8-PSK.

Amplitude Modulation (AM) and Amplitude Shift Keying (ASK) are both techniques used in communication systems, but they serve different purposes. AM is an analog modulation technique where the amplitude of a carrier wave is varied in proportion to the instantaneous amplitude of the audio signal, typically used in radio broadcasting. In contrast, ASK is a digital modulation scheme where the amplitude of the carrier signal is switched between two levels to represent binary data, making it suitable for digital communication systems. Essentially, AM is used for analog signals, while ASK is used for transmitting digital information.
The most fundamental difference, I would say, is that Amplitude Modulation (AM) is a kind of Analog Modulation Technique (the modulation is applied continuously in response to the analog information signal) where Amplitude Shift Keying is a type of Digital Modulation Technique ( an analog carrier signal is modulated by a discrete signal, digital modulation methods can be considered as digital-to-analog conversion, and the corresponding demodulation or detection as analog-to-digital conversion. The changes in the carrier signal are chosen from a finite number of M alternative symbols).

This is hard to explain. AM means amplitude modulation, while ASK is amplitude-shift keying. AM is usually analog as it is modulated based on the strength of the signal, though you can use it to send a digital signal. ASK represents digital data as variations in the amplitude of a carrier wave. Any digital modulation technique will represent the data using a finite number of different signals. While AM is used mostly for radio and television, ASK is used for telegraph signals, transmission across telecommunications equipment, and fiber optics.
Amplitude Shift Keying (ASK) is often referred to as On-Off Keying (OOK) because it represents binary data by switching the amplitude of a carrier signal between two states: a high amplitude (on) for a binary '1' and no amplitude (off) for a binary '0'. This simplicity in representation allows for straightforward modulation and demodulation processes. OOK is a specific form of ASK that directly correlates the presence or absence of signal amplitude to binary values, making it intuitive for digital communication.
Amplitude shift keying (ASK) is simple to implement and requires less bandwidth compared to other modulation techniques. It is also less susceptible to noise interference, making it suitable for applications where signal clarity is important. Additionally, ASK is energy efficient as it allows for power conservation by varying amplitude levels.
Amplitude shift keying changes the height/power of the transmitted signal without altering the frequency. Frequency shift keying changes the frequency of the transmission without altering the height/power of the transmitted signal. Morse code is an example of amplitude keying where the amplitude is 0 or 100%. RTTY teleprinter uses FSK with two frequencies and the codes that represent text characters are sent with patterns of the two frequencies.
It uses GFSK (Gaussian Frequency Shift Keying) modulation technique.
